Hello, I’ m Hollie! I’m an illustrator and designer, and as well as running Woof by Hollie, I also work full-time as a Digital Executive for a colouring magazine, and I live with my partner and little dog, Lyra, just outside of Cardiff.

I studied Animation at university and I loved learning all about digital art. I quickly found that a lot of my uni projects featured dogs, and I soon found myself designing dog Christmas cards and selling them at local craft fairs. One of my uni friends suggested opening an Etsy store, and that store eventually became Woof by Hollie!

There’s one huge reason that I still I do what I do – I absolutely love dogs. I really, really do. I am that person who’s ears perk up when they hear someone near them say “dog”, and I will unapologetically present pictures of my puppy like a PowerPoint presentation to any stranger on the street.

I love drawing dogs almost as much as I love meeting them, which is a LOT. If I wasn’t running the business, I can promise you I’d still be doodling dog designs on my iPad…
